Lance and Nicola Herbst established Herbst Architects in 2000 and since then
their office has become one of New Zealand’s leading architecture practices. Eight
New Zealand Architecture Awards and 20 Branch Awards testify to its peers’
respect.
In this handsome book, leading architecture writer John Walsh focuses on key
Herbst projects that exemplify the practice’s reputation for creating buildings that
are exquisitely detailed, legible, materially expressive, located in a lineage of New
Zealand craft architecture, and acutely sensitive to place and context.
Beautifully designed, and with photographs by well-known architecture
photographers Patrick Reynolds, Simon Devitt, Jackie Meiring and Simon Wilson,
this book should be part of every architecture-book collection.
